🔥 Quotable Moments

📢 “The ingredient list really has very little correlation to the quality of pet food. What really matters is the bioavailability and your pet’s ability to absorb those nutrients.” — Dr. Em

📢 “We practice positive reinforcement and force-free training. I’m not hearing ‘don’t use food in training,’ but rather, use that kibble purposefully throughout the day.” — Corinne Gearhart

From managing weight to busting myths about “premium” diets, this episode is packed with practical, long-term strategies you can start today. Whether your Doodle is a finicky eater or food-obsessed, you’ll walk away with tools to nourish your pup for a lifetime of health and happiness.
